And this will achieve what exactly?

Virtually every website on the planet engages in data mining in one form or another.

Fakebook is no different. Want a facebook account? You have to agree to their terms and conditions.

And people are upset over this because they are either too lazy or too stupid to read and understand the terms and conditions that they agreed to so they could use the website.

Facebook, google, amazon, etc. are not government entities.

You don’t want everything you say or do online micro analyzed and used for profit? Don’t use their website.

EVEN THOUGH South Park made it abundantly clear.

Pol-preening for votes.

I don’t mind the data mining; it’s what they do. It’s the selective censorship that I think is wrong.

The Facebook monitors should categorize posts into one of two categories: 1-call the cops; 2-let it go as posted. Stop censoring.

Electronic medical records. High Tech Act of 2009. The lobbyist that pushed for this, were hired by the data mining people. The Fed is no different!
